A Journey Against the World
Chapter 45

Shua Xie spent 1 month training in the forest. Not only did he practice, he also collected the spirit stones of monsters he had killed, some of which he absorbed and some of which he made money. Long ago when Shua Xie first fell in the Underworld, he once killed thousands of spirit monsters in another forest. But it was just a coincidence, Shua Xie could kill thousands not because of all his strength. But at that moment there was a massive wave that resulted in spirit monsters killing each other. Shua Xie made use of their fights, after they let their guard down Shua Xie was about to attack them.

In contrast to now, this time Shua Xie was able to kill hundreds of spirit monsters with his strength. Using only a ground element sword he could kill dozens in a single strike. Shua Xie is also proficient in using the latest collaboration version of the sword, about there are 5 earth element moves that he has mastered.

After a month of practice, Shua Xie returned again to the city of Kekai. It was time for Shua Xie to carry out his main mission, which was to take Phoenix feathers belonging to Oldest Brother Phoe. With his cultivation at the late level Earth stage he could definitely enter the Gold Lion alliance, plus his battle experience. In the eyes of the people should be Shua Xie no longer at the late level Earth stage but at the level 2 White King stage.

Shua Xie entered the city gate of Kekai, but before he entered, the gatekeeper checked his identity first. Perhaps it was related to the incident a month ago, regarding his matter with the Young Master of the Mo clan. Shua Xie kept his true identity a secret like he had with Tang Shan. Shua Xie admits her name is Menma.

After being examined, Shua Xie was allowed to enter the city of Kekai. Shua Xie walked slowly with an occasional sigh of softness.

"They weren't from the Gold Lion alliance? Why would they be able to cooperate with the Mo clan? This even further adds to the problem," Shua Xie muttered softly as he stroked his forehead.

Phoe chuckled softly at Shua Xie's worries, 'That pass let it pass. You've already hit the Young Master of the Mo clan, of course they will hunt you down in order to keep the Mo clan's good name. The Mo Clan must have been furious when it knew the Young Master of them was beaten to a pulp by a girl. Moreover, the Mo clan is very famous in the city of Keki, said Phoe.

Shua Xie let out a heavy sigh again, he really did not want to have any trouble with anyone, but because Guwei Mo himself had started it. Shua Xie only accompanied him to play for a moment, but it was unexpected that the matter would become this severe.

"That's it, if they want to die I won't be merciful. Moreover, the Mo clan often oppressed weak clans."

'Hey! Hey, don't forget what I said. Killing a lot of people will make it even harder for you to climb the Eternal World.'

Shua Xie clucked softly while propping up his back neck with his two hands, "Killing a little should be fine right?" reply Shua Xie.

'Better avoid so as not to bring the problem in the future later. Stepping onto the Eternal World-' Unfinished Phoe spoke, Shua Xie instantly cut him off.

"Yayaya .. chatty. Just kill a little bit."

"Kill who?" Suddenly another voice appeared behind Shua Xie. Shua Xie turned his head back and saw that there was Tang Shan and a little sister beside him. Shua Xie smiled awkwardly as he greeted Tang Shan who was looking at him confusedly.

"Eh, A-Sister Tang Shan. How are you doing? Long time no see."

Tang Shan took a step forward, a keen gaze full of curiosity headed towards Shua Xie. The more awkward Shua Xie's smile became because of her gaze.

"Good, Senior. Where has Senior been for a month? Brother guess Senior has already returned home to Senior city," Tang Shan replied with a gentle smile.

Shua Xie glanced at the other while scratching his head, "Ah, that is. I went to practice in the woods."

"Oh, it's appropriate that Senior's aura is more concentrated than before. Senior must be getting stronger." Praise Tang Shan.

"She feels stronger too. Oh yeah, who's that kid next to you?" shua Xie asked towards the little boy beside Tang Shan. Seeing the little boy reminded Shua Xie of Xiao Mei. Now how is Xiao Mei at the Sacred Cloud academy? Since their separation in the city of Brotavia, Shua Xie had never again been in contact with Xiao Mei nor the Xiao family.

Tang Shan glanced beside her, "Ah she. She's my sister, her name is Tang Rouyue," Tang Shan replied as he asked her sister to get acquainted with Shua Xie.

Tang Rouyue smiled then saluted as a familiar greeting, "Greetings Senior Brother. My name is Tang Rouyue, Senior Brother can call me Rou'er."

Shua Xie returned his smile with a small smile while patting Rouyue's head as he usually patted Xiao Mei's head first. Rouyue was shocked at Shua Xie's treatment of her, suddenly blushing in embarrassment.

'Senior Brother turned out to be as good as Shan Gege said, ' Rouyue said in her heart delightedly.

"Call me Brother Menma only. Don't call Senior Brother, too stiff," said Shua Xie softly.

"Oh yeah, where are you going?" Shua Xie continued again while staring at the two of them alternately.

"We're going home. It just so happened to have just finished buying herbs for Father," Tang Shan replied.

Shua Xie nodded softly, "Oh. I'll buy you guys noodles, there happens to be a nice noodle diner near the inn I'm staying at. How's it?"

"Eat noodles? But-"

Shua Xie directly pulled Tang Shan da Tang Rouyue's hand together, "Come on. I'll treat you both, just consider this a call from your brother. So don't be rejected yes, I've been eating without friends for a long time. Eating alone is so boring."

After informing Mo Lang, the two of them immediately went to look for Mo Wan. It didn't take long for them to finally meet, after explaining at length to Mo Wan, they hurriedly scattered in search of the whereabouts of the girl named Menma. Mo Lang headed east and west of the city, then Mo Wan headed north and south, while Mo Gui was in the middle of the city.

First of all that Mo Gui came to was the inn that Shua Xie still rented to this day. But Mo Gui did not see any sign of a foreign girl inside the inn, almost the entirety of the people inside the inn had already Mo Gui remembered her face.

Half an hour Mo Gui wandered around midtown, not even finding any sign of the girl he was looking for. Mo Gui also took the initiative to go to one of the noodle restaurants that he had investigated before.

Mo Gui let out a tired sigh, really he was tired of looking for the girl they had been looking for a long time but never met. Actually this quest had already stopped a few weeks ago, but there was no wind there was no rain, it was sudden that the First Elder of the Mo clan ordered them to search for the girl again. I don't know what the First Elder of the girl wanted.

Mo Gui passed through the door crossing with Shua Xie, Tang Shan and Tang Rouyue. Due to not being so focused he did not pay much attention to the girl he was looking for just past him.

"Sir Menma, thanks for the treat, the noodles are really good."

"Thank God you like it" Shua Xie replied.

Surprised Mo Gui heard the name Menma, the name of the girl he had been looking for was trying to suck. Rushing Mo Gui turned around then walked over to Shua Xie and to his two friends.

"Hey, you. What's your name, Menma?" mo Gui asked Shua Xie.

Shua Xie glanced back when someone mentioned his pseudonym, "Who are you?" Shua Xie asked back.

"I, Mo Gui. What's your name, Menma?" mo Gui asked again accompanied by footsteps approaching Shua Xie. Shua Xie was a little surprised to know his name there was a word 'Mo' Shua Xie could guess he must be from the Mo clan. It was likely that this Mo Gui was looking for him for this month.

"Yes, my name is, Menma. How do you know?"

"I didn't overhear you guys talking. And he mentioned your name, so I thought you were the person I had been looking for all this time," Mo Gui replied flatly impressed calm and dignified.

Shua Xie crossed his two hands, his gaze drastically changed upon hearing that this Mo Gui was looking for him, "If you may know why you are looking for me? It's like we don't know each other."

Seeing Shua Xie's speaking style change, Mo Gui guessed Shua Xie must have been suspecting him, "Our elder wanted to meet you. I hope you will come with me," Mo Gui replied calmly.

Tang Shan withdrew Shua Xie's hand as he shook his head slowly, looking from the look on his face he told Shua Xie not to accept Mo Gui's invitation. Shua Xie understood that Tang Shan was worrying about him, but rejecting Mo Gui's invitation was not good either. There may be unwanted fights in the middle of the crowd.

Shua Xie let go of Tang Shan's hand that previously held her, "Go home, don't worry about me. None of them could kill me," whispered Shua Xie quietly in Tang Shan's ear.

"But-"

"Go home, if you're here. It'll be hard for me to face them." Shua Xie cut off Tang Shan's unfinished speech.

Tang Shan nodded in understanding, then he took his sister back home to his residence. Now left Shua Xie and Mo Gui in the midst of the bustle of society.

"Say, do you want your elders to see me? Is it because I beat up your Young Master?"

"It was originally like that, but now it isn't," Mo Gui replied making Shua Xie confused.

"meaning?"

"You can ask the elder directly. We were only ordered to look for you," Mo Gui replied indifferently as he walked past Shua Xie. Shua Xie tilted his head in confusion.

'It seems like the Mo clan elder is curious about you. You better be careful, ' said Phoe who had just listened to the conversation between the two of them.

Shua Xie nodded slowly then followed Mo Gui from behind, "In case of an emergency, inevitably I will also have to reply to them. If they attack me, then I will also attack them."
